Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use my existing Premier license?
Yes. BYOL is standard at EezyCloud. Bring your license, we host it.
Which Premier editions do you support?
All five: Contractor, Manufacturing & Wholesale, Nonprofit, Professional Services, and Retail.
Can I switch between Premier editions?
Switching editions requires a new QuickBooks license (from Intuit). Your hosted environment and company file are retained — we just install the new edition.
Will my industry-specific reports work?
Yes. All edition-specific reports, charts of accounts, and features work identically in the cloud.
What happens when Intuit discontinues my Premier version?
QuickBooks Desktop versions work for 3 years after release. When your version reaches end-of-life, you’ll need to upgrade your license. Your hosted environment and data carry forward.
Can I add more than 5 users?
Premier maxes out at 5 users. If you need more, upgrade to Enterprise (up to 30 users). EezyCloud makes this upgrade seamless.
